LA Periodontics & Implant Specialists ("we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the information you share with us through our website. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through this website, how we use it, and the choices you have.

Information We Collect

We collect information in the following ways:

• Information you provide to us. When you submit a form on our website, such as an appointment request or contact form, we collect information you provide, which may include your name, phone number, email address, and any message or notes you enter.
• Usage data. Like most websites, we automatically collect certain information about your visit through analytics tools, such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, and the date and time of your visit.
• Call tracking data. We may use call tracking technology to record which webpage or marketing source led to a phone call to our office. This helps us understand which of our marketing efforts are effective.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Respond to your inquiries and requests for information.
• Schedule and confirm appointments.
• Communicate with you about our services.
• Understand how visitors use our website so we can improve it.
• Measure the performance of our marketing and advertising efforts.

Information Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We may share limited information with trusted third-party service providers who help us operate our website and marketing, such as analytics providers (for example, Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager) and call tracking services. These providers only use your information to perform services on our behalf and are not permitted to use it for any other purpose.

We may also disclose information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities.

Text Messages (SMS)

If you opt in to receive text messages from us, we will use the phone number you provide to send appointment reminders, confirmations, and follow-up messages related to your care and inquiries with our practice. No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. This includes the phone number you provide and any consent you give to receive text messages. Message frequency varies. Msg & data rates may apply. You can opt out at any time by replying STOP, and reply HELP for help. Consent to receive text messages is not a condition of purchasing any product or service, and is not required to schedule or receive care. For full program details, see our SMS Terms & Text Message Policy.
